Title: Hello from Edmonton (Wolf 90)
Post by: Blake on April 29, 2015, 10:46 PM
Hey guys,

Just joined here after being introduced to this forum from another member that bought my former G90 tires.  Anyways, I'm a new owner, just bought a 1997 Wolf 90 from the Suffield government auctions back in January.

All in all it didn't take much to get it going, pair of new batteries, new drop arm, track link, oil cooler lines, timing belt (tensioner, idler, etc), rewiring of the military light switch which was snipped off, and a bunch of other things I'm forgetting.  Oh and lots of cleaning.

Hope to get to know all the locals here, Cheers.

Welcome! Great to see another LR owner in town. We gather at the Sideliner Pub the first Wednesday of every month for pints and chats about all things Land Rover. Drop by and say "hi" if you get the chance!

Yup, I think I see you on occasion by the le Marchant Mansion at 116st and 100ave.   I'm heading north from there about 650am in either the RRC or Disco 11 and you are heading down into the valley.   

Do you have a sneaking suspicion you are being watched ahahhahahahahhahah

Appears Defender vendors are milking the last few years of a restricted market before the New Defender hits showroom floor. Doesn't matter how good or bad the new unit is it's bound to take some sales and interest away from the older Defenders for a while.

I seriously doubt that people are paying these asking prices.  If they are, they are not doing research.  People can have any asking price they want.  That has nothing to do with sale prices.

I'm seeing good 4 doors, TDI, 110s sell around $20000 and some less locally.  TDI 90s more like $15000.  IMO, a good condition wolf 90 or 110 should be around the $15000 area.

It's summer and I'm bored. You know what they say about everything is for sale for the right price. I'm not exactly what you would call a motivated seller.

I know I'm hoping that the new Defender is worth buying though I'm not going to be shocked if it is not.

Update; Sold it for $24,000 to a fellow in Winnipeg.  Only thing added in the intervening time is an Espar D5SC coolant heater.
